Cartel Investigations in Georgia — the Real Legal Picture
It is best to state clearly at the outset: the general rules of cartel investigation are defined by Georgian competition legislation and enforced by the Competition and Consumer Protection Agency; this page rests on the chapters of the Law on Electricity and Water Supply that regulate competition on the energy market. Sectoral oversight of the energy market relies precisely on the instruments permitted by that law — market investigation, the assessment of significant influence and concentration control.
If you are affected by cartel behaviour on the energy market — price fixing, market sharing or the restriction of a competitor — your legal route is twofold: the general competition claims and the sectoral mechanisms established by the energy law, which we examine in detail below.
